What should happen to those who "take a risk" and fail, in right wing, capitalist societies such as Cameron's Britain?

I could understand the Green position if it was actually coherent. For example if they said "we need to build more houses and schools, there aren't enough, and we need to raise taxes to provide more help for the poor", and left it at that, I could at least see that their position is coherent. However they also believe that we should have progressively lax immigration controls with an eventual aim of open borders. This would essentially mean that the 60% tax they would be taking would be going to newly imported people and building endless infrastructure to import them. We would forever need to build more schools and hospitals, and the amounts taken from people would need to increase year after year as the population would be inevitably increasing at an unsustainable rate.

I bridle at this, especially when considered with their belief that "the wealthier countries of the world have no right to keep their wealth from the poorer nations". I don't want 60% of my wealth to be going to deliberately imported foreigners.

I'm challenging you to come up with an alternate explanation for why people might support Green policies

Considering what I've said above, I think a misguided and borderline delusional set of incoherent beliefs that are mutually exclusive. It sickens me to my core to think that money I want to give my children will be taken out of my bank account and given to endless waves of migrants.

I also consider the Green's claim that they want to preserve green spaces to be cynical as well as an outright lie, considering they support the initiation of the biggest infrastructure building project the country has ever seen, which would require various parts of the green belt being concreted over.

I'm not against helping the poor, as long as they are the actual poor of this nation. I don't trust Greens to stand up for the poor of this nation, it seems to me that they care much more for the foreign poor, considering their desire to have eventual open borders for which the concretization of much of the green belt would be required in order to provide infrastructure for the endless streams of new arrivals.
